    Soler Performance
    Matt,
    Nice job on the video and content man!
    $600 isn't cheap, but coupled with a new C.A.I. setup, I bet there's even bigger gains!
    Be well

    Those times are slow. Car & Driver hit 150 in 16.3 in the convertible. As to the Nuremberg Ring: it takes a whole team over there to get those record times that you see it. For Porsche it’s 10 minute drive, for GM at shipping a crew in a car halfway around the world and staying there until temperature and atmospheric compression are “just right “to break a record. And for what, really? They’re already selling more cars than they can make and people are paying five figure mark ups for them. And plus, nobody here drives the Nuremberg Ring anyway so who cares in America? We know what time do the car will get here on our tracks, which ain’t chicken liver. And we also know how it’s done from magazines in Europe and America against its European competitors, which I will kindly post for you below with some C8 Stingray times thrown in for good measure:

    The z06 is very quick, not that fast. 0-100 it is really quick, rolling at 40 100 comes vert fast. It will never have the top end pull a boosted v8 does.

    Soler Performance is top notch. I put one on my 21 ZL1 at less than 100 miles.
    I’ve owned several 6 Gens & ZL1’s & the throttle response improvement from their TB’s is awesome.
    4 Tenths on this example, providing its further repeatable, is a pretty impressive gain.
    150% Recomend.

      I see where you think its minuscule. .4 seconds doesn't seem like a lot. But it take a nice power gain somewhere in that RPM spectrum to make up .4 second. Hard to pay $600 and get a gain like that on a Naturally Aspirated car

  • @davidhiggins7026
    @davidhiggins7026 Рік тому

    Just found out the C8 Z06's 0-124mph and the 0-155mph times. As recorded by Autobild Sportscars.
    Surprisingly it is 9.9secs and a whopping 18.3secs.
    So just to go faster by 31 mph at the speed of 124mph takes another long 8.4 secs.
    A car that runs out of steam at around 125mph then. A bit wheezy higher up, due to what?, lack of torque?
    Great up to that 125mph sort of speed, very fast, but around the LONG straights of the Nürburgring Ring circuit over in Germany I suspect sadly it may even struggle to break the 7 mins barrier.
    Plenty of C8 Z06's have been sold.
    GM have had ages beforehand and since its launch to get over there, as have private owners. Yet... Crickets.
    We hear of no rear wheel dyno figures from this 'rear wheel drive' outfit trying to punt out these Soler products, just some seat of the pants word of mouth 1/4th of a second lower time to get from 60 to 130 mph.
    That from Autobild Sportscars figures usually takes about 7.3 secs, or thereabouts.
    Even Soler give out no dyno hp figures. Didn't test it themselves on a dyno then?
    Or have they and then sooner not give that info out. Why would that be?
    Just higher airflow figures from Soler given and 3rd party outfits 'sponsored' by Solar giving out their brief figures.
    It could be VFM and worth getting, who knows. More research & evidence is needed.
